how to delay a routine from starting?

Lets say I turned the screen black then started music, but i have scroller that I want to delay starting until a certain part of the music. how can I do that.

sort of like

lda #$00
sta $d020
sta $d021
jsr $1000
sei

then set the interupt up and all that

then

irq asl $d019
jsr $1003
jsr scroll
jmp $ea82

scroll
wait until into of the music is done
then scroll
rts

JackAssers code will stall the scroller 7 sec every 21.845 minute. Based on the previous code I would prevent it by using JSR/BIT as on/off markers in the code.

frameCount: .word 0
startScroller: .byte 0

frameTrigger = 7*50 ; 7 seconds
frameCountLo = frameCount+0
frameCountHi = frameCount+1

irq_handler:
   jsr doMusic

dly:  jsr doDelay
dsc:  bit doScroll

   ; exit IRQ

doDelay:
   ; Update frameCount
   inc frameCountLo
   bne :+
      inc frameCountHi
   :

   ; If frameCount == frameTrigger then startScroller=1
   lda frameCountHi
   cmp #>frameTrigger
   bne :+
      lda frameCountLo
      cmp #<frameTrigger
      bne :+
         lda #$20		;$20 is JSR ie. turn on the scroller.
         sta dsc
         lda #$2c		;$2c is BIT $abcd ie. disable the delay routine.
         sta dly
   :
   
   rts

i understand this but I have bit of a syntax question. I don't understand

bne :+

i understand say

bne *-2

or

bne lable

but I've never seen bne :+ where is that branching too? Is it branching to the : right before the rts?

:+ refers to the next colon.
:- refers to the previous colon.

They're called anonymous labels iirc.

You can also use many + or minus to jump several colons back or forward (just to make stuff more unreadable :) )
